Nursing Home Abuse

© Jonathan Rosen field’s Nursing Home Abuse Did you know that there are millions of elderly men and women who are abused and neglected on a daily bases while living in a nursing home. Many family members don’t know that when they put their love one’s in a facility such as a nursing home or a retirement home that they will be abused. I worked in a nursing before were the residents were being abused. The lady that was doing this crime probably never thought she would get caught. She abusing the men which she cared for on the night shift and one of the guys who could not really speak finally told someone. This young lady was fired and she has a record and she is not allowed to work with any senior citizens or children. What would pose a grown person to hurt an older person? They could not have a heart or if so it is as small as the Grinch. This story comes from a personal experience my grandmother was put in a nursing home by my mother because my mom could no longer care for her. When my grandmother got to the nursing home she was always complaining about the aids were not treating her right. They would pinch her; steal her food and drinks we would bring. Once we talked to the charge nurse and the manger we did not have any more problems. But a lot of residents are not as fortune as my granny to have family members that cared. But as time went on my grandmother started losing weight because they were not feeding her and then she got sick and my granny didn’t last long after that. I’m saying this to say that elderly people do not need to be treated like animals. In this article you will see pictures of the residents who live in the nursing homes and how they were beaten because of another adult trifling ways. In my eyes I’m trying to figure out how can adult forms themselves to beat on someone who can’t defend themselves. This breaks my heart when I read the paper or listen to the news and hear what has happen to a resident who live in a state facility. This type of abuse is a crime and you can get jail time for this. There are a lot of judges who like to take on this type of case because nine times out of tine they win. Our elderly are suppose to be treated with the utmost respect because they have lived their lives and now it is time for the next generation to care for them. I feel that if you don’t have the heart to deal with people who can’t take care of themselves then you don’t need to be in the field of nursing. There are senior citizens who are severely beaten and end up dying. I am passionate when it comes to elderly and children. Children didn’t ask to be born so why would you beat them and neglect them because of your mistake. And our senior citizens who have paved the way for us should not be abused at all. The article that was written by Jonathan Rosen field’s can be found at this website http//www.nursinghomeabuseblog.com/articles/nursinghomeabuse-1. As I stated before when I read this article I ended up in tears. There is a picture of a lady on one the pages and she has a black eye. What could this elderly woman have done to make someone punch her in her eye like she was a punching bag of some kind. This article states quit a few facts about nursing home abuse. This seems to be an uprising epic for our elderly people. I feel that if you have a love one who needs to be cared for don’t put them in a nursing home if you can help it because they might suffer neglect. Now don’t get me wrong everybody don’t do this unjust crime but the ones who do need to rot in hell. If you can if your parents need to go to a home make sure you investigate the facility to make sure they don’t have any neglect or abuse going on with their residents. And make sure you check on your love one everyday so that they will know that there is family. Because if no one comes to visit this is more likely the ones who will be abused and you don’t want that for someone you love. So read this article to see what you can do to prevent this from happening.
